The successor to the E-500 gives photographers a better way to frame their compositions since unlike most D-SLRs it boasts Live View on its 2.5/6.4cm HyperCrystal LCD.
The new camera offers improved shooting results with a new image processing engine that offers excellent noise performance thus bringing picture quality to a whole new level. And, as with all of its E-System cameras, Olympus eliminates the threat of dust with Supersonic Wave Filter. Whats more, the addition of a new Live MOS sensor in this Four Thirds- based camera delivers 10 Megapixels of high-quality detailed photography.
Olympus has equipped the body of the E-510 with an image stabiliser so theres no need to have it in every lens, as is the case with other D-SLRs. Enjoy protection against blur caused by camera shake when working with long exposure times or high magnifications: Dont risk blurring a shot in high action situations, or when theres no tripod at hand. All that you need to protect images against unwanted camera shake has been built into the body of this powerful addition to the E-System. And enjoy true-to-life colour reproduction along with exceptional noise performance thanks to the new image processing engine.
The incorporation of Live View takes D-SLR photography in a new and exciting direction, ensuring picture sharpness with unprecedented accuracy: The ability to view images on the 2.5/6.4cm HyperCrystal LCD at magnifications of 6x or 10x in manual focus mode guarantees that pictures always come out sharp.
Auto-focusing is as easy as a push of the AEL button. A quick flip up and then down of the mirror allows the AF measurement to be made and shooting can begin. Furthermore, with superb image processing speeds of 3fps with a seven image RAW buffer in burst mode, theres no need to worry about missing a great shot.
